I've also heard that strawberries are heavily sprayed. Makes sense since all kinds of critters like to eat them. It's too bad but I've found some good organic strawberries at Super 1 recently.
I haven't seen organic strawberries at Super1, have to go there! Thanks Jean!

Sabine, thanks! I updated the link and changed the top 3 to top 10!
